EDITORS LETTER:

“The Future’s
bright”

T

hinking about the future is something many of us do even though
some of us don’t like to admit it. The process of planning what will
become of us in a few weeks, months or even years. We have been
exposed to many interpretations of what will happen in the future
through different forms of media but that might not be what you
believe the future is.
Your future could be a cleaner greener planet with everyone driving
electrical cars, recycling and saving electricity in every way they can. Your future could be
a Sci-Fi inspired one with man living on Mars and exploring other planets for resources.
Or your future could involve another world war leaving certain countries destroyed and
putting others into power.
That is what this issue is about, exploring different interpretations of the future through
the eyes of many different artists.
Enjoy

On The
Front
P

lamen Iliev is a very talented Bulgarian artist who has been working with 3D for about nine years
but the quality of his work drastically improved in the last three to four years.
Ilivâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image, Assassin was the perfect image for the front cover of the second issue not only
because it was exhibited at the Leipzig Games Convention in 2008, or because of the of the coverage
it has on different sites. But simply because it looks very futuristic. From the free flowing green hair to
the futuristic looking pistols emitting laser beams and even the small digital tattoo on the models right
shoulder.
The atmosphere the image creates and the simple background made it ideal for a front cover and
introduces the viewer nicely into the future theme of this issue.

Cyber
Women
Combining 3D elements with photography is a technique that has been implemented incredibly well recently, in most cases
without the viewer even knowing. Dominique Fraser at Sublim in Canada has made a great example of this be combining real
models with futuristic 3D assets for the front covers of various different magazines.

Simple &
Clean
With the population of the planet growing there is a greater chance of increased waste and pollution which could result in
unpleasant living conditions for many homes. But what if we found a way to stop this from happening in the future, what if we
cleaned polluted scenes and modernised old architecture to leave a cleaner and simpler environment for us to live in.

Will Cars Fly?
We have frequently been exposed to scenes of flying cars in many futuristic settings, however even with recent technological advancements we are yet to see any indication of flying vehicles arriving any time soon. Maybe the future of cars is not with flight
but with their exterior design and functionality.

What Sci-Fi
Tells Us
Space and life forms on different planets are the main aspects of much Science
Fiction media. Ships to travel around in space, suits to survive in different
atmospheres and weapons to defend against all forms of enemies are just a few
things required to be designed futuristically to suit the
settings.

Robots In
Disguise
A robot is anything powered electrically or mechanically capable of
doing tasks on its own with the
aid of a computer or some form of
programming. This is practically
the definition of many things in
existence today, but one type of
robot that is constantly placed in a
futuristic scene is a humanoid robot, one that has similar features
as a human being.

House Of The
Future
There is an underlying understanding in us all that much will change in the future and one of these is the design on
a house. The classic triangular shaped roof with a square base will probably cease to exist at some point in time but
what design will replace it? Will we all live in a round igloo like house or will we all have square houses similar? Who
knows? That’s what our imagination is for.
